OP mentions antennas, presumably for WiFi, so forget about OPNsense, PFsense or most other BSDs.

Neither are commonly available in desktop form factors and they usually require custom builds for each board to work.

I like the tab groups. I use them often at work to group an issue with related tabs and my attempts at solving it. Also makes it easier to pause work on one problem and work on something else because I have the tabs grouper and know exactly where to go back.

Favourites

Witcher 3

Witcher 3 was one of the first "big games" I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It's been on my "to replay" list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.

Nier: Automata

This is another early "big game" I played, though I didn't finish it then. I won't spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn't feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it's still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won't spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn't work on Linux.

Other games

I couldn't think of a third game, so here's a list of other good games that don't quite make it.

  • Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn't really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
  • Baldur's Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
  • Dishonored: I haven't thought of this game in a while. It's still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
  • Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that's fun for 2 weeks.
  • Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
  • 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won't play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally

Do you write your own modules for programs that don't have a home-manager module yet?
That was my biggest issue when I tried nixOS, that for a lot of configs I'd have needed to create my own wrapper.

I don't use symlinks, I copy the files to their place. This also means I have to manually copy updates back into my repo, but it massively reduces the risk of committing a private key or a bunch of bad changes to my repo.

My switch to Ansible from bash was mainly motivated to make the initial setup more robust. My setup script would need fixes every time I installed a new machine and be semi-unattended at best. I find it also easier to make changes and add new steps

For reference, here are the bash scripts I used before:
config script
setup script

I run mine on a separate server in containers (using Podman). For architecture, the server just connects directly to each agent, using my VPN network

Looks right to me. Does Firefox require a reboot on Linux to recognise newly added keys? (It does on Windows with the registry)

EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye work on Linux thanks to Valve's efforts. Unfortunately many devs explicitly deny Linux or only allow the Steam Deck.

I have opensignup from Reddit in my RSS feed and recently Torrentleech was open. Maybe have a look if it still is, very good general tracker and easy economy.

I use fish, but only interactively. Scripts are either in bash or Python depending om what I need.
